Hi everyone!  My name is Wendy A.  I am a middle aged woman learning ASL and am eager to meet some other middle aged women also interested in learning and/or practicing ASL…nothing against all you young-uns!!  It’s just that it would be really fun to be able to laugh about some of the finer aspects of growing older as we practice signing together.  So, please, ladies, let’s connect!!!  There’s a great game called Marco Polo that makes it real easy to send and receive videos that you can watch at your own leisure.

I would be interested in signing with you. I am a middle aged woman learning ASL - I am taking a 201 class at this time. I would love all the practice I can get as I am on a trajectory to get a Proficiency Certification in ASL. Please let me know when you are available so we can start a Zoom practice chat!

Hi Teri!  Wonderful!!!  It would be great to practice signing with you!  So, I’m not too computer savvy and am actually not too sure of how this site works.  But, I’ve used zoom and FaceTime, so just need a little help getting started.  How do you and I start communicating privately?

Hello again, Teri!!  So I’ve had a little time to learn about this site and I realize we can do a video chat right on here and that, perhaps, was your intention!  I think it’s a GREAT idea!  We can get to know each other, a little bit.  I am busy in the morning and have a meeting around 4 p.m.   I can sign with you in the afternoon or in the evening/night.  Like you, I’m hoping to become proficient in ASL and I am SO EXCITED to get started practicing!! If you’re interested, let me know.  I can open a room and call it “Mid Age Ladies” and set it for 2 people.  How does that sound?

That sounds great! I am taking ASL201 right now and I meet for class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but am available the other nights of the week and weekends. Just doing a video chat and signing as we get to know each other is perfect. I too am striving for proficiency so the more we can practice the better. I have some time tomorrow (9-6) or Wednesday evening this coming week. Just let me know.

      Why am I learning ASL

      By MaxJohnson · Posted

      That’s a great reason to start learning ASL. Having a practice partner would definitely help, especially with getting more comfortable with reading signs and keeping up with a real conversation. It’s also nice that you want to learn because you’ve had situations where communication was difficult. Just keep practicing and don’t worry about being perfect at the beginning—everyone starts somewhere. spin mama

      You might see a familiar pattern and immediately think you know the answer. Your brain naturally wants to complete the word as quickly as possible. However, tha t first idea isn’t always  dordle correct.

      Security Communication with Deaf Visitors

      By tanneredward315 · Posted

      Security staff should be prepared to communicate with deaf and hard of hearing visitors in a clear and respectful way. Simple gestures, written instructions, visual signs, and mobile phones can all help when spoken communication is not effective. Improve Event Safety At busy venues, communication becomes even more important. Teams providing Crowd Management Services should make sure safety instructions, evacuation routes, entry rules, and emergency information are accessible to everyone. Staff should know how to gain attention politely and avoid creating confusion during stressful situations. Train Security Teams Basic deaf awareness training can make a real difference. Security officers should remain patient, maintain eye contact, and use clear visual cues when needed. Build a More Inclusive Environment Good communication improves both safety and visitor experience. By planning for different communication needs, security teams can create safer, more welcoming environments for everyone.
